This page lets you schedule events to control the running of the service component. The events are raised at the scheduled time by DBMS jobs. For a notification mailer service component, you can schedule the following events:

• Start • Refresh • Suspend • Resume • Stop

• Launch Summary Notifications

For each event, the list displays the event name, date and time when the event is first scheduled to be raised, the interval in minutes at which the event is reraised, and, for a Refresh event, any parameters to be refreshed. You can specify the following refreshable parameters, using the parameters’ internal names, when you refresh the notification mailer.

• PROCESSOR_IN_THREAD_COUNT- Inbound Thread Count

• PROCESSOR_OUT_THREAD_COUNT- Outbound Thread Count

• COMPONENT_LOG_LEVEL- Log Level, specified as a numerical value • 1- Statement • 2- Procedure • 3- Event • 4- Exception • 5- Error • 6- Unexpected

• EXPUNGE_ON_CLOSE- Expunge Inbox on Close

• TEST_ADDRESS- Test Address

• ALLOW_FORWARDED_RESPONSE- Allow Forwarded Response

• FROM- From

• REPLYTO- Reply-to Address

• HTMLAGENT- HTML Agent

• AUTOCLOSE_FYI- Autoclose FYI

• RESET_NLS- Reset NLS

• INLINE_ATTACHMENT- Inline Attachments

• ATTACHED_URLS- Attached URLs

• CLOSED- Outbound Closed Notification • CANCELED- Outbound Cancelled Notification • OPEN_INVALID- Invalid Response Notification

• OPEN_MAIL_DIRECT- Open Notification (Direct Response Parsing)

• OPEN_MAIL_FYI- Open FYI Notification

• SUMMARY- Outbound Summary Notification

• WARNING- Outbound Warning Notification To schedule events:

• If no events are currently scheduled, click the Add a Row button to add a new row to the list of events and enter the information for the event.

• Select the event for the command you want to schedule. • Select the date when you want the event to be raised first.

• Select the hour and minute to specify the time on the specified date when you want the event to be raised first. The hour values are in a twenty-four hour format. For example, select 00 for midnight, or 23 for 11 PM.

• If you want to raise the event periodically, enter the time interval in minutes at which you want to raise the event. If you do not specify a repeating interval, the event is raised only once.

• If you choose the refresh event, you can optionally enter any parameters you want to include with the event in order to refresh the notification mailer

configuration parameters with those values when the event is raised. Specify the parameter names and values in the following format, separating the parameters with a colon (:):internal_parameter_name=parameter_value

For example:PROCESSOR_OUT_THREAD_COUNT=3

• To schedule another event, click the Add Another Row button and enter the information for the event.

• To remove an event, select the event and click the Remove button. To cancel any changes on this page, click the Cancel button.

To return to the previous step of the configuration wizard, click the Back button. To save these settings and proceed to the next step of the configuration wizard, click the Next button.

To save these settings and proceed to the last step of the configuration wizard, click the Finish button.

Note: The configuration wizard verifies that an event is specified for every row in the list when you click the Next or Finish button. If you do not want to schedule another event, remove any empty rows before proceeding.

Tags

This page lets you enter strings of text found in unusual messages and the status you want to assign to an inbound message if it contains any of those strings. For example, unusual messages include bounced or returned messages and auto-reply messages such as those sent by vacation daemons, mass mailing lists, and so on. Since different mail systems vary in how they identify bounced, undeliverable, or otherwise invalid messages, you can use notification mailer tags to specify how your mail system

identifies those stray messages and how you want the notification mailer to handle those messages should it come across them.

Oracle Workflow provides several predefined tags for text commonly found in

undeliverable or auto-reply messages. For each tag, the list displays the pattern, which is the string of text to look for in the From line, Subject line, or body of the message, and the action, which is the mail status to assign to the message if that pattern is found. The notification mailer handles messages according to these mail status values, as follows: • Error - Moves the message to the discard folder and initiates an error process, if one

is defined for the notification activity. The notification’s status is still OPEN, but its mail status and activity status are updated to ERROR. Ideally, the workflow administrator corrects the problem and resends the notification by updating its mail status to MAIL.

• Unavailable - Moves the message to the discard folder and continues waiting for a reply to the notification since the notification’s status is still OPEN, but its mail status is updated to UNAVAIL. This status is purely informative, as no further processing occurs with this notification.

• Ignore - Moves the message to the discard folder and continues waiting for a valid reply to the open notification. The notification’s status is still OPEN and its mail status is still SENT.

You can define additional tags for other patterns you want the notification mailer to handle automatically.

• To add a new tag, click the Add Another Tag button, enter the string of text in the Pattern column, and select the status you want to assign to messages containing that pattern in the Action column.

• To remove a tag, select the tag and click the Remove button. You can only remove custom tags that you defined. You cannot remove predefined tags provided by Oracle Workflow.

Note: It is important that you uniquely identify bounced messages and auto-replies by defining tags to distinguish them from normal responses. If you do not identify bounced and auto-reply messages, the notification mailer can mistake these as invalid responses, send an Invalid Response Notification message, and continue to wait for a reply. In both cases a perpetual loop would occur where the notification mailer continues sending out an ’Invalid’ message and the ’Invalid’ message bounces back or is auto-replied each time.

Note: Only a message response that contains a notification ID can be handled through the ERROR and UNAVAIL mail statuses. If the notification mailer receives a message response that does not contain a notification ID, it moves the message response to the discard folder and, for the first such message from a particular e-mail address, sends an Outbound Warning Notification message to the sender that it received unsolicited mail.

Note: If a message response matches more than one string in the list of tags, the message is tagged with the status of the first tag it matches. That is, the notification mailer performs a top to bottom comparison against the tag list. Due to this behavior, you should

prioritize your strings listing the ERROR tags first, followed by the UNAVAIL and then IGNORE tags.

Test

This page lets you test the configuration for a notification mailer that performs outbound e-mail processing by sending a sample notification message. Select the recipient role to which the message should be sent, and click the Send Test Message button. Then check the Worklist page or the e-mail account for the recipient role, depending on the role’s notification preference, to verify that the test message was received. The test message does not require a response, so you can close it after reviewing it. However, you can optionally respond with a comment to acknowledge the message.

To successfully send a test message, you must select a recipient role that either has a valid e-mail address defined, or that has members with valid e-mail addresses defined.

Note: The settings you define for previous configuration parameters determine how the test message is sent. For example, if you specify an e-mail address in the Test Address parameter, that address overrides the e-mail address of the recipient role and the test message is sent to the test address instead. Also, if you select the Autoclose FYI parameter, the test message is automatically closed and does not appear in the Worklist unless you display your closed messages.
